      Thanks, cant wait to get the skirts painted and the wheels on.

      I will... yes, right now thats the only rip. the seat bottoms are getting a little hard, so they'll have to be given some attention. Also rear shelf is faded and needs some attention too.

      and no, only found out about the vacuum leak yesterday afternoon pulling the car back into its spot... when returning back to idle it dips below idle real quick then back up. I'll have to take a look at it when its nicer out.

      i take it lexol is the type or brand name of tape you used?

          yeah lexol is a brand of leather conditioner. just use a lot on the seats.

          i believe the vacuum leak is on the intake manifold gaskets. spray some TB cleaner or similar fluid and the idle will loop. if the PO kept the maintenance, that's the only issue i recall.

            ah, looks like i'll have to get my hands on a container of it asap. best place to purchase it?

            and great. nothing like spending an afternoon taking off my intake manifold to replace a gasket. you got pm.
